"Mega Steelix would faint after any move"

Now, lets try and get you to understand.

There are 3 types of walls, Physical Walls, Special Walls or Both

Physical Walls are especially good at surving physical attacks, though some of them tend to be more vulnerable to special attacks to balance it out

Special walls are good at surviving Special attacks, though some of them tend to be vulnerable to special attacks to balance it out

Mixed walls are defensive in both stats, however they have less individual bulk than a Physical/special wall usually.

Mega Steelix isnt a bad wall because he gets 2HKO from a Super-effective SPECIAL attack, as he is meant as a physical wall, and a bloody good one of those he is, boasting the joing highest defens ein the game as 230 (Despite MGengar being taken out by one powerful super effective attack, physical or special, and Mega Steelix 2HKO a lot more impressive than a OHKO)

You have 5 other slots to cover Steelix's main SPECIAL weaknesses.

So, in conclusion, it doesnt matter if he cant tank a few super effective special hits, as he is a PHYSICAL WALL rather than a SPECIAL WALL, and therefore you cannot argue he is unviable because he can not tank that.

Anything else you want to downplay?
